Wanted to treat hubby to some cuisine from his culture and so we went here. It's a long distance…read morefrom home but it was a mild weather day in December so we decided to make the drive on 12/9/24. We ring the bell and a young boy let us in and we sat down. It was awhile before someone came to tend to us but as my husband was explaining to me, in the African culture, you go to them to tell them what you want, not the other way around. They were in the back busy cooking and preparing, there is a open window where you can order. We got to meet the owner who the restaurant is named after, Anayo. He was awesome! I wanted to order the fried rice or the coconut rice but those are large orders for several people which are only for call in but they don't indicate that on the menu. I got to order the last meat pie they had and OMG, I'm still dreaming about how good it was! I ordered the jollof rice and told them mild spice but it was still a bit too hot for me but in Nigeria, that is how they spice their food, LOL. It comes with goat meat and fish. I loved the fish as it was flavorful, crispy and delicious! I will make sure to order that fish again. Hubby got the Nkwobi made with cow feet, scotch bonnet pepper, onion, palm oil Spinach and seasonings. It was so hot but he enjoyed every bit of it. Anayo told us that they have only been open for 1 year. I hope they continue and thrive. I got to taste a strawberry yogurt drink that they had in the frig that was in a 1 liter container. I really enjoyed that also. You get the bill after you pay - they told us our total for us to pay. Not used to that but they aren't the first business that I've experience to do that. Area was very quiet that evening. Thank you Nayo's - see you soon!

This place is AMAZING!!!…read more My first time having Nigerian food was 3 years ago. My man is Nigerian and his family cooks amazingly. We've been to several restaurants in various cities but none of them come close the Tribe! They master the perfect balance of food that is seasoned very well but not salty at all! I mean, the jollof rice was the best I've ever had. My man even said that their food was superb. That is a strong compliment coming from him. The egusi with goat meat was full of flavor and the turkey wing was delicious. I usually don't leave reviews but there was no way I could enjoy such a great meal and not say thank you! We will define back, soon!

I went to…read morethis place not too long after the name change because I was in a hurry for an event, they had a $35 deal and it was close to my job. My hair was slicked back in a ponytail and still slightly wet from washing it that morning. I got to the wash basin, the woman looked at my hair, scowled and said GLUE! I calmly told her "Gel. I washed my hair and put gel on it." She did a really good washing and took the opportunity to tell me how "girls like me" will come in here expecting a regular wash when they have GLUE in their hair. By girls like me, I translate African American women (thought I'm half Hispanic). And by GLUE, I translate weave glue but I don't know because I don't wear weaves. My hair was done, paid $35 and left. Two weeks later, I come back because they did a decent job. This time my hair isn't in a bun. My hair is in its natural state of curls and slight frizz.. Guess what? The new price is suddenly $45 dollars because its not "relaxed or less thick". So in two weeks, my hair has metamorphisized?! REALLY?! They do a job worth $35 and have service that makes me want to only pay them no mind and offer up my two cents.

I didn't realize beforehand that it was an African restaurant, and since I have limited experience with Nigerian cuisine, I was excited to try something new. I ordered the beef with jollof rice, and while I wasn't expecting the level of spice, the flavors were bold, rich, and truly enjoyable. It's one of those meals that leaves an impression--comforting, flavorful, and different in the best way. I'll definitely be returning, and next time I plan to bring my husband so we can try some of their goat dishes as well. Overall, a warm, welcoming spot that's worth exploring if you're looking to step outside your usual and experience something new. Perfect for anyone looking to try something new in a welcoming, approachable setting.

The ambiance was welcoming with comfortable chairs, fine dining white table cloth, friendly staff, and a knowledgeable chef/owner! We even got to talk to the owner afterward and got recommendations of what to order on our next visit (the peanut chicken). The food was delicious and unique. We had the beef/potato stuffed samosas, the Goat Stew with Okapi Rice, the grilled whole fish (Branzino) with a side of Kwanga, and the beignets with ice cream for dessert. The Kwanga is a starchy cassava that itself doesn't have much taste, but when eaten with the grilled fish or the Goat Stew, was delicious! Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we're already excited about coming back to try more!

We had the Shekla Tibs, collard greens, kitifo, and the coffee and tea. My favorite was the Shekla tibs and I'm obsessed with the tea. My partner said he could live on the collard greens and coffee. The ambiance was authentic and had several booths and tables, connected to a grocery store. Overall, I'm thrilled to have tried something new and had a great experience. My partner who's had Ethiopian food before very much enjoyed it. Definitely give them a try! The world may be large but it is places like this that shrink it enough for everyone to be able to experience other cultures and food.
